Instructions
Combine base ingredients in a food processor and blend for one minute. Dough should start to form and stick together when pressed between two fingers. If not, add 1 tsp maple syrup at a time and pulse until dough sticks.
Use a silicone cupcake pan or lined and greased cupcake pan and divide dough evenly to create about a 1/2 inch base. Press dough down in an even layer. You should get 9-10 cups.
In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup maple syrup and 1/2 cup cashew butter and bring to a boil over medium-low heat. Allow mixture to boil for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Pour about 1 1/2 tbsp of caramel into each cup. Gently tap cupcake pan on counter to create a smooth and even layer. Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
Combine chocolate and coconut oil in a small bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, until melted.
Remove cups from the freezer. Drizzle each cup with chocolate, top with pretzel pieces, then drizzle on another layer of chocolate. Place back in freezer for at least one hour before consuming. Store in the freezer.
